Doctor Strange Teaser Trailer (2016)

Teaser Trailer for Doctor Strange.

After his career is destroyed, a brilliant but arrogant and conceited surgeon gets a new lease on life when a sorcerer takes him under his wing and trains him to defend the world against evil.

Benedict Cumberbatch was almost not Dr. Stephen Strange. He initially declined the role due to scheduling conflicts. But, when the film's release date was pushed back from July 2016 to November 2016, Cumberbatch was able to commit to shooting.

Before becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange received training at an Eastern monastery. Benedict Cumberbatch spent his gap year volunteering as an English teacher at a Buddhist monastery in Darjeeling, India. He has stated that the experience was very profound and influential on his life, and sought to draw from this experience in preparing for the role.

Doctor Strange (2016) will be the fourteenth film to be released by Marvel Studios for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
